Hi Lynn, didn't really come to much of a shock today to be honest. After it was mentioned at my first rheummy appointment I researched how people who had it felt and soon realised that's what I had.

Hi Mike, I have R/A and been on sulfasalazine for 11 years and have had no problems with it, it was effective on its own for about 4 years then i had to add other drugs. hope it works well for you. x

Hi.. I've had psoriatic arthritis for 11years, very difficult at the beginning trying to get a good balance for meds. ive been on sulfasalazine for 6years then added methotrexate to it and i am now on a biologic drug(etanercept) which is the best one i have been on, been on it for 5years and everything been fine, still have flare ups now and again, especially my neck and back. i feel this is the best drug ive been on. Hope your pains sorted soon.
